Ticks and Skeeters

[Belt Fed]

They are horrible already, got nearly 90 today and I had six ticks on me. skeeters are biting all day long. I figured they was going to be bad with all the rain. went metal detecting near a civil war battlefield,  found what looks like a mini ball and a black powder revolver round.  A buckshot and a flattened bullet. it's a horrible pic but they are solid white.

Eat a pack of match heads.  Old school matches, in the paper flip-open pack.

Pack in every MRE.  Every other day, eat a pack with the MRE. Just the match heads - don't eat the rest of the paper stick...    Mosquitos, Ticks, Chiggers - don't wanna have anything to do with you, because you smell like sulfur. Yeah, you might stink - but the bugs don't fuk with you. At all.

I heard vinegar will do it too. I usually spray with deet, but didn't think we was going to get in grass.

My grandpa kept a salt shaker full of sulphur in the glove box of his truck. Sprinkled the sulphur on boots and ankles before going in the woods. No ticks or chiggers.

Permethrin! We use it with in our unit. Spray the seats of the cruiser, clothes and dogs. I try to find the pre mix but mixing isn’t difficult
